"The results finally came in: Soule had Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves and causes paralysis."

I had transversemylitis at age 19, which is a virus that attacks the immune system and sheath over your nerves. No cure or treatment for it, you get steroids and PT if you start to get movement back. So make full recovery, some partial and some no movement. I hit the partial recovery mode and walk with canes. I didn’t get any movement below my chest for weeks when it took all my concentration to barely move one big toe. My endurance is short and balance is awful but it beats a wheelchair. Glad the lady in the post didn’t quit!
